Turning Pain into Hope
Real results from patients who found relief
“Prior to coming to the Institute for Nerve Medicine, many patients have seen a dozen doctors or more, experienced failed surgeries, and have even had their very pain questioned. Time and again, Dr. Filler demonstrates that in many of these cases the problem is the doctor and not the patient. A cure is in reach when the best available medical care is brought to bear.”
